Midnight Robbery.

Daniel Gentry, who lately opened a
first-class restaurant in Squire Riley $
new building corner of Jefferson and
South Pearl streets, keeps, or. rather
did keep until Saturday night first
class stock of excellent cigars. That
they were good is demonstrated from
the fact that customer on Saturday
night took all he had in his place of
business. The trouble with Mr.. Gen
trv is that the customer did not come
in until after he had closed his res
taurant and had gone home for the
night.
1t must have been nearly or quite
midnight when the thieves entered.
Just how the entrance was affected is
not known. There were two ways in
which the fellow could get into the
place. One way was through the front
cellar window and then up through the
trap door in the floor of the restaurant.
The person might have been possessed
of key which fits the lock of the front
door, as the lock is one of those kind
which can be turned by almost any
kind of key. The latter is probably
the main way in which the thief affect
ed an entrance as no marks or scratches
are upon the walls of the cellar which
would necessarily be made by the shoes
of the theft when he slid down from
the window. No clue or intimation of
the robber is had by Mr.. Gentry, and
it is more than likely that the fellow
will be permitted to puff away fer
some time on his i'll gotten game.

A BAD CHAPTER.
Fights, Accidents and Rob-
berry aturday Night.
Slashed with a Razor.

Myro Lively is again in trouble.
Myro is a colored gentleman and has
served term in States Prison for the
free handling of a keen edged razor.
Since his release from that institution,
he has been employed in various bar
Der shops, his last place of employ
ment being with Isaac Saxon. Myro
not only uses the razor in professional
way, but carries one as a weapon of
protection, and it is this fact that
has caused him SO much trouble.
On Saturday night Myro was at a
party of colored people, held in some
part of the country just outside of
Bridgeton, and during the evening be-
came engaged in a quarrel with a
young man by the name of Pierce.
The argument became heated and
Pierce getting the best of it with his
tongue, Myro pulled his razer from its
place of concealment and with the
deXtrous manner of handling it, which
has made him somewhat noted, pro-
ceeded to slash Pierce across the hand.
He then gave his victim slash under
the arm in the vicinity of the ribs, but
the keen edge of the blade only cut
through the clothing and did not
tonch the skin.
Pierce Immediately proceeded to
Fairton and swore out warrant for
the arrest of Lively before a Justice of
the Peace. About three o'clock yes
terday morning Pierce was in this city
trying to get his optics upon the MUIR
derous Lively, but as yet he has been
unable to have him arrested. 1t is said
that Lively has skipped to Cape May
County.

More ignorance is displayed By driy
ers of vehicles and even pedestrians
on the street, on the subject OF 'the
right of the road than en- any other
principal of law that should be known
to all persons and taught in the
schools 1t is a simple matter and
consists in yielding one half of the
road and keeping to the right. In
passing in any way, whether in vehicle
or on foot, keep to the right Then,
in case of either accident or impu0ent
disturbance, the law will justify you
Many persons with large wagons. or
staggering braggadocio, are so inn
polite and unyielding as to give neither
side of street or road. With such
persons be frm-keep the right OF
street or road-and the law will take
care of you and the other fellow, too.

We believe the time has come when
an effort should be made to secure an
earlier train from Philadelphia to
Bridgeton. We are less than forty
miles from the former city and yet do
not receive the mail and city papers
until 10 o'clock in the morning. What
is needed is a train to leave Philadel-
phia at 7 o'clock in the morning reach
ing Bridgeton about half past eight.
By this arrangement the great bulk of
mail matter could be in the hands of
business men by nine O'Clock. 1t
would also be an accommodation to
parties from Philadelphia who desire
to do business here and return by
noon.

The South Jersey Paint Works are
doing large business and in the present
quarters are unable to turn out suffi-
cient paint to meet their orders. 1t
would not be strange if in the near
future spacious quarters should be
provided for this enterprising firm.
A fine site has been offered them in
certain portion of the city if they
would locate there, but this site is too
far from the heart of the city, The
quality of the paint manufactured by
this company is excellent, and all of
the products of their grinders are sold
as soon as made. 1t was the purpose
of the firm to send out salesman for
the introduction of their goods into
the market, but owing to their limited
capacity, they have not been able to do
this.

Mt. Holly Fair.

The great agricultural event of the
season in West Jersey is the Mount
Holly Fair. 1t will be held on October
10th, 18th, 18th, 18th, 18th, and 18th,
The people of Burlington county have
for nearly half a century been famous
for the excellence Of their annual ex-
hibitions, but in this, the fortyfirst
year of their organization, they pro-
pose to outdo themselves. Great i'm
provements have been wrought in the
grounds, whereby there is larger and
better space for display, as well as far
better accommodations for visitors.
A very spacious and we'll arranged
grand stand has been built. 1t has
seating capacity of $500 people, while
the quarter-stretch will accommodate
6000 more. A fine restaurant, man
aged by Philadelphia carterer, is one
of the conveniences. The trotting,
running, and pacing races of each day
will be most attractive feature.
The displays in every department will
be unusually large and varied, and the
premium list of $4,000 insures the
best specimens of every class in COM
petition. The excellent regulations
under which the Fair has heretofore
been conducted will be maintained.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. will sell excursion tickets from all
stations in the State of New Jersey,
October 10th TO 18th, good to return
until 18th, at reduced rates. In ad
dition to the regular trains. all of
which will stop at Mount Holly dur
ing the Fair, special trains will be run
from all prominent points on the prin-
cipal days. The specials will be an
nounced later by posters.

term by consent of Counsel, Messrs.
Hoagland and Bacon.
Prosecutor Hoagland stated that
there were several cases he want
ed to bring to trial at once, but as
there would be much matter before the
Grand Jury to occupy his time, he
feared lie should be unable to do so.
1t looks as if the Grand Jury would
furnish a pretty large batch for Court
business.
The lawyers either on one side or
the other were almost unanimously
not quite ready for business, and the
result was that little was done, and
the trial of no case was begun this
morning.
Court adjourned till 2 o'clock.
Tuesday Afternoon.

There should not ne much hesitancy
in the subscribing for course ticket
for the Y. NJ. G. A. lectures by any
one. Five hundred persons must
guarantee to take at least one ticket
for this excellent course, and one dol
lar is the price set for the tickets.
When it is taken in consideration that
three lectures and three fine concerts
can be enjoyed for one dollar, it would
seem that at least a thousand tickets
would be subscribed within week.

On Saturday night a gentleman from
Friesburg was driving down that street
at pretty rapid gait. When near the
piles of brick, he turned to the right
to keep clear of a milk wagon coming
from the opposite direction, and failed
to see the piles of brick The result
was that his horse trotted with full
force into one of them and threw
itself. Its legs were skinned and cut
pretty badly. No serious damage was
done, and after a short time the gen
tleman proceeded on his way.

William Lippincott had Charles
Scott arrested on Saturday, charging
him with robbery. The defendant was
taken before Justice Riley. 1t seems
that Lippincott at one time boarded
with Scott, and the latter with the aid
of Il constable seized a watch belong
ing to Lippincott, for board which he
claimed to be due him. Lippincott
retaliates as stated The trial is set
down for next Saturday.
